This list has been around for a while, it could use some updating but there is still some good information contained in it. It may help to make a decision based on viscosity and the temperature of your local area.

I have not, I wish I could remember who it was that originally posted this list several years ago so that I could give him credit for his work. It seems like he was in that industry and had the ability to measure viscosity, the list could use some updating but I still often refer to it.

Reel-X soft grease for covering gears and other internal parts (including gear teeth). Have also used Shimano TBM-0 grease for baitcaster gears with good results - recommended to me some years ago by a Shimano reel tech.

Corrosion X oil on the worm gear - will try TSI 321 soon as a test.

Smith IOS-01 for ceramic spool bearings, low viscosity non-Newtonian oil that lasts a long timeTSI 321 for stainless steel spool bearings, but IOS-01 is also very good

Personally, I can't stand loud bearings so dry lubes are out for me. I also fish in the salt a lot, so corrosion is always an issue....

From memory he was a physicist, whose first name was Mark

He posted at another site under the name Mark G. I think he is/was a materials engineer for a major company in the Midwest. Haven't seen anything posted by him in five years or more. He contributed some very original and useful information to fishing discussions.
